Mayor on Facebook: 'Royal Oak is NOT Declaring a Snow Emergency'

Royal Oak homeowners without driveways can rejoice!

The City of Royal Oak has decided not to issue a snow emergency, according to Mayor Jim Ellison, who posted this on his Facebook page:

The total accumulation overnight amounted to less than 3 inches. With that, we also will NOT be doing any residential plowing. It is the expectation that with the slowly rising temperatures, most of the new snow will melt off.

The National Weather Service is forecasting rain showers on Thursday with a high near 42 degrees.

What do you think? Do you wish the city would plow residential streets? Tell us in the comments.
